Angular momentum distribution for three final halos at ﹩z=0﹩. The distribution was calculated as in Bullock et al. (2001) and shows the total mass ﹩M\left(< j_{z}\right)﹩ that has angular momentum less than jz. Top: Fits to the formula of Bullock et al. (2001) (dashed lines). The shape parameter for each halo is ﹩\mu =1.34﹩ for halo b, ﹩\mu =1.27﹩ for halo d, and ﹩\mu =1.33﹩ for halo e. Bottom: Fits to our formula (eq. [14]). For halo b, ﹩\mu =1.45﹩ and ﹩\Gamma =1.52﹩; for halo d, ﹩\mu =1.33﹩ and ﹩\Gamma =1.32﹩; and for halo e, ﹩\mu =1.37﹩ and ﹩\Gamma =1.14﹩.
